Abstract

Nowadays to ascertain medical history is not the only way of communication between the person concerned and the physician. Dealing with a complaint or a disease includes gaining information by surfing on the internet too. The internet offers blogs with the possibility to put a question anonymously. One of these blogs is part of the website die Blase.de of Dr. R. Pfleger Arzneimittel in Bamberg, Germany. The requests of 20 months have been evaluated. The typical user of this blog is female; thematically - side effects of a current therapy, seeking a solution for complex continence problems or a refractory therapy and capacity building measures were most frequent. The complexity of the particularised continence problems and the extensive searches for a qualified physician support the offer of an internet-based doctor's consultation in due consideration of a taboo topic such as urinary incontinence.
